Put away the moving boxes, cancel the truck. The good news is that we are not moving. After 2 1/2 months of our house being on the market we got exactly 0 offers. I have to say the experience of having the house up for sale did have a few positives as it helped us develop a few new habits on keeping the house clean and picking things up. It also allowed us to paint and do some repairs that we had wanted to do, but just didn't make it happen.
I am a bit frustrated that we didn't get any offers, even a low one. While our house could use a few improvements, it is overall in very good shape and for the price/amount of house, I feel like the price was close.
To top off the last week of finally deciding to take the house off the market, the last showing found a leak. A leak that ended up ruining our entire kitchen floor. That ended up being the tipping point.
So right now we are waiting on insurance to tell us what they will cover and we will hopefully get moving on getting the kitchen floor replaced.
Not moving will be a good thing. I hope it will give us some time to wrap up my house in Acworth. We are in month 8 of the "short" sale process and by the looks of it, probably several more months to go.
Here's to not having to keep the house "show ready" 24/7 and to what staying here will mean.
Until next time,
Josh
